Tooltip

Increases your chance to parry by 1%, and reduces the duration of all Disarm effects used against you by 16%. This does not stack with other Disarm duration reducing effects.

How it works

Deflection is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 47. Its base value is 1. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 234. Its base value is -16.

What it does

Deflection is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it applies an aura.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Wrath of the Lich King client, build 3.80.2.69874. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 10 separate Spell records named "Deflection". This page is record #19295. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page.
